Inter Milan fell behind in the sprint stage last season and eventually failed to win the Champions League, Serie A and Italian Cup. To make up for the regret, Inter Milan decided to relax the signing restrictions set by the Oak Fund this summer and no longer require new players to be young people under the age of 25. According to Italian "Milan Sports" report, 27-year-old Atlanta striker Lukeman is Inter Milan's target for signing. Lukeman can play multiple positions in the front line and can even play as a midfielder. Inter Milan's new coach Zivo is ready to adjust the team's formation and tactics, and Lukeman is a very suitable candidate. Last season, Lukeman played 40 games for Atlanta's various competitions, scoring 20 goals and contributing 7 assists, of which Serie A contributed 15 goals and 5 assists, second only to teammates Retge and Fiorentina striker Keane Jr. in the Serie A scorer list, second only to his teammates Retge and Florence striker Keane Jr. were crowned Serie A boots. Lukeman's current German turnover price is 60 million euros. His contract with Atlanta expires in June 2027.

In the second leg of the Champions League knockout playoff last season, Atlanta lost 1-3 to Bruges at home, and lost 2-5 in the total score but missed the match. After the game, Lukeman and Gasperini had a fierce conflict. Gasperini criticized Lukeman for not paying a penalty at a press conference, calling him "one of the worst penalty kickers", while Lukeman insisted that he had obtained permission from the team's designated penalty kicker before taking the penalty kicker, believing that Gasperini's criticism was biased. Lukeman, who had a conflict with the coach, had already begun to want to leave. After the season, Atlanta's meritorious coach Gasperini left office and replaced bench potman Ranieri as the new coach of Roma. Gasperini's departure did not change Lukeman's idea of leaving the team. It is reported that Inter Milan has contacted Lukeman's agent. Inter Milan is willing to give Lukeman a transfer offer of 40 million euros and prepares a five-year contract with an annual salary of 4 million euros. Lukeman is willing to accept this contract. However, Inter Milan still needs to convince Atlanta to release the price. Atlanta asked Lukeman for 50 million euros and refused to cut the price.

According to Italian football reporter Pasquale Guarro, in order to reduce Lukeman's transfer fees, Inter Milan chairman Marotta intends to join players in Lukeman's transfer deal to facilitate the conclusion of the transfer deal. It is understood that Atlanta is very interested in Inter Milan midfielder Aslani. He may be included in Lukeman's transfer deal. The 23-year-old Aslani has a contract with Inter Milan until June 2028. The player will score 3 goals and 2 assists in 35 games in 24-25, and the Germans will turn around and make a 13 million euro. In addition to Atlanta, Purple Lily Florence and Bundesliga powerhouse Frankfurt are also potential next players of Aslani. Inter Milan's transfer valuation of Aslani is 15 million euros. Inter Milan Chairman Marlotta has always been good at buying low and selling high, or adding players to transfer transactions to reduce transfer fees. Although Aslani has average playing time and data at Inter Milan, the 23-year-old Albanian midfielder still has good potential to be explored. If Atlanta agrees to include Aslani in Lukeman's transfer transaction, Inter Milan may use Aslani + 35 million euros to complete Lukeman's transfer transaction with Atlanta to strengthen the front line. Putting substitute midfielder Aslani into Lukeman's transfer deal is definitely a good deal for Inter Milan, which is tight in funds. After the slammed out of the Club World Cup, Inter Milan star Lautaro had a conflict with Inter Milan core players such as Cialis and Turam. Lautaro said bluntly: If you don’t want to play for Inter Milan, you can leave now. Turkey's giant Galatasaray has extended an olive branch to Cá20, and they are willing to provide Türkiye's top court with an annual salary of 10 million euros to attract him to join. But it was not possible to reach an agreement with Inter Milan on the transfer fee. As the transfer is deadlocked, C20 also changed its words and was willing to continue to play for Inter Milan. Lautaro and his forward partner Turam have already settled, and both of them want to continue fighting for Inter Milan! According to the analysis of "Mi Tai", after Lukeman joins, Inter Milan will not sell Turam to cash out. Inter Milan hopes that Lukeman can form a good chemical reaction with Lautaro and Toulam Jr., to form Inter Milan's forward trident and improve offensive efficiency. Iranian striker Taremi, who joined Inter Milan for free last season, became the target of Inter Milan's cleaning. Inter Milan's transfer to Tarremi is valuated at 10 million euros.

In this offseason, Anautovic and Correa, whose contract expires, leave the team for free. If Inter Milan can successfully sell Taremi, Inter Milan will clean up and upgrade the front line this summer. After Lukeman joins, he will assist Lautaro and Toulam Jr. with Italian center Esposito, who performed well in the Club World Cup. In Serie A, the front line configuration is top-notch. However, coach Inzaghi's departure has a significant impact on Inter Milan. Ziwo's coaching and on-the-spot adjustment ability are insufficient. Next season, Inter Milan's record in the Champions League and Serie A will decline. Qualifying in the Champions League group and qualifying in the league is the most realistic goal. The defending champion Naples, who continues to recruit players in the transfer market this summer, will replace Inter Milan as the new Serie A king.
